WELCOME to Finding Light!

In this site I want to share with you the thing which I find most important in my life – truth.

I don't mean dead, boring truth, I mean living Truth, something which comes from a connection and not a disconnection with reality, something which is almost inseparable from love.

You can find here articles about all ways of deepening your relationship with Truth, focusing on topics of spirituality, personal growth, metaphysics, beauty, love and happiness.

Always this is truth which will affect you, probably transform you. If Truth doesn't change your life then it doesn't deserve the capital T.

About me

If I were to describe myself in one word I would say “revolutionary”. I like to cause radical changes – in myself and in the world. The second word would be “intense” – whatever I give myself to, I give myself to totally.

I also consider myself an immensely spiritual person; by spiritual I mean that I look inside for answers when I feel something is wrong with life. I'm constantly looking for deeper inner truths and to transform my failures into virtues.

I'm an indigo. The concept of indigo was popularised by writings about "indigo children", which detail rebellious, highly intelligent and perceptive kids. Well, we're not all kids anymore. Oh, and we're very rare, not all kids are indigos by a long shot, an indigo is about 1 in 10,000 I think. My indigo aura gives me a huge amount of energy and emotional sensitivity. We're born leaders and see through lies like they were windows - which makes me perfect for writing a site about finding truth. I have a very unique perspective which I'd like to share.

Like most (though not all) indigos I consider myself as a lightworker, that is, a person who lives to love in the most extensive sense of the word and to do his part to bring this world to a state of love. I feel like I could throw my life away for the sake of this ideal.

(I'm not prissy or soft, though, as you'll find out. I don't mind having an ego. I defy any label you care to put on me - you can try to describe me, but you can't define me ;)

My enneagram is number 8 and my sign of the Zodiac is Aquarius. I'm vegan and like to act like a crazy turkey in public.

I travel the world and currently live in Bilbao, Spain.

I'm also a damn good lover.

The Spiritual Vegan

Check out my other site, The Spiritual Vegan. I share a lot of recipes and thoughts about eating ethically and healthily. I've been vegan for 2 years, an avid cook all my life, and have studied deep into nutrition using my characteristic energy and ability to see through lies.

I'm not interested in converting anyone, but I do dedicate my site to helping people make the transition to veganism if they already want to or find out if they want to if they're not sure.

I care about you

I'm hyper-motivated to make a change for the better in this world. I can tell you now that I love you without ever having to have met you.

Talk to me. Really, talk to me. Feeling sad? I'm here. Feeling lonely? Write me. Your life fucked up? I can probably help. I'm not a guru but I have a lot of energy and wisdom I can share with you - and most of all I have the desire to make a change.

And I've BEEN there. I've been so lonely I went crazy. I've spent months suffering in hospital without any guarantee I'd live.

So I care. I care about YOU.

Talk to me.

I'm also very hungry for feedback on my site. I love hearing I've helped you, and if not, I want to know how to serve you better.

The channel is open.

How I earn my money

As of the new year, 2010, I am a full-time blogger, with the help of my parents. I intend to have this site support me by 2011. I'll do this by doing what I wanted to do in the first place - change the world.

It's over to you, though, to help me continue. I have a few recommended resources you can buy which will give me a small commission. Or you can donate.

Consider doing so if I have made your life better in some way. A standard donation is 10€.

Don't feel obliged though: I give my love as a gift to you, and I ask for money to return to me with the same innocence. I don't want to force anyone into anything.

Imagine if we all made our living like that! :)

In closing

I hope you've gotten an idea of me as a person, so it's not some faceless guru behind the screen who you are reading from, it's a friend and mentor, a guy you can teach in return. Consider adding me on facebook or following me on twitter. I also post a lot on the Steve Pavlina forums as "Andrew Gubb".

You can read my life story if you want to; I don't have it on the main page any more because I find I wrote it with too dark a perspective. Don't read that.

Two posts which give you an idea of who I am are

"Well... you want to know how my life changed?" for a lighter account of my tough life,

And My base to give you idea of where I'm at with this site.

Yes, a lot of my older posts are a bit embarrassing, but for my own sake I decided to leave them as-is :).

See you around here I hope,

Andrew
